A Thanksgiving tradition

Joan is hosting the Charming Girls Quilt Club for the month of October and she has a special giveaway! Since Joan lives in Canada and has just celebrated Thanksgiving there she has asked us to post a favorite Thanksgiving recipe.
Here is what I have been making for quite a few years now - Pumpkin Streusel Pie from a recipe that I found in Sunset magazine.
I just happened to have a picture of one of the pies I have made. I didn't take the time to make the leaves around the edge of this one but I have done that before. I realize that I don't make pretty pies - yet.



Pumpkin Streusel Pie

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
2 large eggs, beaten to blend
10-inch pie pastry for a single-crust pie.

walnut streusel
1/2 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (1/8 lb.) butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preparation
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until crumbly


Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and ginger. Add pumpkin, milk, and eggs; whisk until well blended.

2. Pour mixture into unbaked 10-inch pie pastry in pan. Sprinkle walnut streusel evenly over filling.

3. Bake on the bottom rack until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes.

4. Set on a rack until cool to touch, about 2 hours. Cut into wedges.


If you want to see a PRETTY picture of this pie go here and let me know if you make this pie!

Praise - I praise God for my hubby, for all that he does for this family, for me, that he is a strong, healthy, Godly man.

Prayers - also for my hubby, that he would stay focused on God, always desiring to do what pleases Him above everything else. I pray for his health and also for the decisions that he needs to make in regards to employment.
